99c Shrimp Cocktail No Mas

After 49 years of selling shrimp cocktails for 99c, the deli bar at the Golden Gate casino bumped the price to $1.99. It is estimated that 30 million of these snacks have been sold.

This promotion began in 1959 at 50c. One was even welcomed to take the glass with them as a souvenir.  

The Golden Gate was the 1st hotel in Las Vegas, just across the street from the train depot, and had the 1st phone number, #1. 

Along the way it was called the Sal Sagev Hotel. I think I have a postcard showing the Sal Sagev, which is Las Vegas spelled backwards.
